The ship's bell from this trawler has been in my wife's family since the 1930s and now graces our house. All that I know about her is that she was a member of the Sleight fleet, was completed in 1912 (according to the inscription on the bell) and that she was sunk in, I think, 1916 at Mers-el-Kebir (not sure about spelling). I assume that she was requisitioned as a minesweeper but would like to find out as much as I can about her and obtain a photo of her - help!!
My wife's family have no connection with Grimsby and I've often wondered how her (the ship's!) bell found its way back to the UK. One of her grandfathers ran a second-hand (junk) shop in Wimbledon and the bell came from there.
Best wishes, Bill Armstrong
